IPLOOK's compact EPC also called "IKEPC500 series", it combines MME, SGW, PGW, HSS, PCRF, IMS and DRA network elements in one X86 COTS platform what are 100% 3GPP compliant, and each of them can support all standard interfaces defined by 3GPP.
The IKEPC500 series consists of IKEPC 510 and IKEPC 520, using a unified EMS (Element Management System) to
reduce OPEX.
The IKEPC500 series can also be deployed in a centralized cloud or at the network edge, allowing a broad range of deployment scenarios.
IKEPC 500 series, a fully-integrated, highly-scalable and cost effective core network platform(Compact EPC), combines MME, PGW, SGW, HSS, PCRF, IMS and DRA network elements full functions all in one box, flexibly meeting various needs of WISP, CBRS and Private LTE Networks.
Highly Scalable
From a small cost effective network to a large distributed network
Fast and easy installation
A unified EMS, easy O&M and lower TCO
99.999% availability
Support avtive/standby or active/active redundancy
Support flexible hardware specification and multiple server types from different COTS manufactures
Interop with various eNodeBs from third party vendors
Enable roaming functions between operators
All-In-One design
Seamless integration and multi-deployment
The IKEPC500 series provides single server deployment option or two-server deployment option to meet the various network requirements of operators and enterprises at different stages and in different application scenarios.
The IKEPC500 series has complete MME , SGW , PGW , HSS , PCRF , IMS , DRA and web management functions. It can implement LTE high-speed internet data services, VoLTE voice/video/SMS and other basic services. It also supports roaming functions between operators.
The IKEPC500 series can be widely deployed for Wireless Internet Services Provider( WISP ), Citizens Broadband Radio Service ( CBRS ), Private LTE Networks and Campus Coverage .
Home-routed roaming model
With IKEPC500 series on AWS Cloud
IKEPC500 series is also a customized solution deployed on the AWS Cloud that satisfifies telecom industry requirements. This offers a new cost effective, pay-as-you-go model for many mobile core networks that can be available globally in minutes.
With this solution, WISP/CBRS can deploy new 4G network easily and in short time, at the future it could smoothly evolve to 5GC with a simple software upgrade.

Mobility Management Entity(MME) is a key component of the standards-defined Evolved Pack Core (EPC) for LTE. It provides mobility session management for the LTE network and supports subscriber authentication, roaming and handovers to other networks.
A Home Subscriber Server(HSS) / Home Subscriber Register(HLR) serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within a LTE/EPC or IMS network core. By centralising all the subscriber information in a single place it allows the signalling to be separated from policy providing a stream lined, high performing network.
SGW(Serving Gateway)
The SGW node handles the user data traffic, but isn' t responsible for the signaling data used. It transports IP data from UE's to the LTE Core Network. The SGW also routes incoming and outgoing IP packets for better system collaboration and serves as an anchor for the UE when it moves from one eNodeB to another.
PGW (PDN Gateway)
PGW is the network node that connects the EPC to external IP networks. What the PGW does is that it routes packets to and from external IP networks. Beyond that, it also allocates an IP address to all UEs and enforces different policies regarding IP user traffic such as packet filtering.
Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), is the part of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) that supports service data flow detection, policy enforcement and flow-based charging. It offers a comprehensive solution that enables a new generation service provider to offer multiple use cases that allow them to better control their services and align their revenue with their resources.
Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG), a vital role in Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi), enables mobile operators to securely connect untrusted non-3GPP IP access networks to trusted 3GPP E-UTRAN/EPC networks. It establishes IPSec tunnels using information obtained from the 3GPP AAA process, to ensure secure communication, the network security and internet working control.
By bridging Wi-Fi access points and mobile networks, IPLOOK ePDG helps expand wireless network coverage and offload traffic from congested cellular networks.
